Innuos Sense app and V2.2.0 update

I haven't read all of the thread.
I'm perfectly happy with 'Sense' and I'm especially dumb with 'tech'.
That said I occasionally like to 'pull' music back from the Innuos to my tablet or phone and play tunes to my headphones. For this Sense has no option I can see. However, I have SqueezePlayer. It works, but can be a pain to get started. Any tips?
 
I’m just posting to give a quick ‘plug’ for the BBC Sounds App plugin for Sense. I had resisted getting round to doing this because it seemed like a little bit of a faff to install it but I am so pleased it did. I’m loving the BBC Sounds App on my Zenith for listening to Radio 3 concerts that I managed to miss. The Innuos instructions for how to install it are here :-

And these are the instructions for how to access the Squeezebox plugins.

I sometimes listen through headphones in bed via smartphone to aid getting off to sleep.
I use either bubbleupnp (I think there is a small one-off charge for licence from memory) or Foobar which is free.
Both these apps are also able to download content from the Innuos should you wish to do that.
I believe Innuos are in the process of developing a 'player' but I don't know how advanced that is - maybe @Mike Hughes would know?
 
Is Sense not considered a player? If not, I don't understand the definition, but that's hardly surprising! Still had no date for a remote session, so I will have to email Nuno again.
 
As I said above, I'm very shakey on this stuff but as I understand it:
Innuos Sense is a 'Control App', which quite literally allows access to the internal software of the Innuos. In effect the Innuos is computer minus keyboard, monitor and mouse, and loaded only with specialist audio management software.
Sense can only instruct the Innuos to 'play', via its analogue or digital outputs to your system, either using its internal DAC and analogue outputs, or your external DAC via the Innuos digital out.
If you want to, in effect 'pull back', or 'download' music stored on the Innuos, and play it on another device, such as a phone or tablet, then you need to install a 'player' app on those devices. A 'player' will, as I understand it communicate between the Innuos and your device via wifi, so that the music becomes , in effect, at least temporarily 'resident' on your device and can be played back in real time via your device's own speakers, via wired headphones or by Bluetooth to Bluetooth speakers or headphones.
The player I've used is Squeezeplayer. The only issue I have is that sometimes it looks as though the Sense app and the Squeezeplayer app seem to both try to run at the same time and get in each other's way.. but that could just as easily be due to my ineptitude.
I usually get it playing eventually.
 
OK, thanks for the clarification. I don't play the music stored on the Innuos on any other devices, just through the DAC into the amp. But if I try to use the phone or tablet to look at the music on the Innuos, unless the DAC is turned on it says "no player connected". So is the DAC a player?
 
I just checked mine, which is connected to my system via my Benchmark DAC Disconnecting DAC still has the Innuos Sense showing music playing. It just has nowhere to go..

Have this on my Touch. Lovely plug in.
 
It’s an okay plug in. Innuos haven’t fully implemented it though so the search functionality is awful. Overall I find myself preferring to AirPlay from the BBC Sounds iOS app.

Mr Mull, which Tablet OS is hosting Squeezeplayer ?
